Reviews
[Mary Churchill's War] is both a historic record of wartime Britain and an unabashed love letter to her father. The voice that comes through is uncensored, ebullient, and guileless...Emma Soames, one of Mary's five children, has done an excellent job of editing the diaries. She is correct when she says reading them is like 'eavesdropping on history.', Mary's diaries are a remarkably generous gift to posterity. Even though she was only sixteen when she began the diaries, she knew she had a front row seat to some of the most important events in history. This is not a book to devour, but one to relish. The language is fresh and lively, and some of her nuggets of wisdom may be useful even today: 'It strengthens in my mind that one should expect & hope & pray for very little--except courage.'

Synopsis
A unique and evocative portrait of World War II--and a charming coming-of-age story--from the private diaries of Winston Churchill's youngest daughter, Mary. "I am not a great or important personage, but this will be the diary of an ordinary person's life in war time. Though I may never live to read it again, perhaps it may not prove altogether uninteresting as a record of my life." In 1939, seventeen-year-old Mary found herself in an extraordinary position at an extraordinary time: it was the outbreak of World War II and her father, Winston Churchill, had been appointed First Lord of the Admiralty; within months he would become prime minister. The young Mary Churchill was uniquely placed to observe this remarkable historical moment, and her diaries--most of which have never been published until now--provide an immediate view of the great events of the war, as well as exchanges and intimate moments with her father. But these diaries also capture what it was like to be a young woman during wartime. An impulsive and spirited writer, full of coming-of-age self-consciousness and joie de vivre , Mary's diaries are untrammeled by self-censorship or nostalgia. From aid raid sirens at 10 Downing Street to seeing action with the women's branch of the British Army, from cocktail parties with presidents and royals to accompanying her father on key diplomatic trips, Mary's wartime diaries are full of color, rich in historical insight, and a charming and intimate portrait of life alongside Winston Churchill during a key moment of the twentieth century.

    I purchased multiple books from this seller, and this was a great experience! Each book was listed at a great price! Everything was shipped out quickly, and arrived only a few days after that. The book was packaged appropriately as well. The condition of the book was even better than what was listed, as it looked almost brand new, rather than the “very good” that was stated. I absolutely would buy from this seller again!

    Highly Recommend seller due to professionalism, great communication, and kind to work with. Fun, interesting store to shop in. Quality of book purchased was like new, value was good, and the appearance of it is as if picked up off shelf in any high end bookstore. Very happy with it. Packed very well with extra coupons inside. Shipping cost fair. Delivery was on time. Would buy again due to the care taken with the whole transaction. Thank You for being a day maker with simply good business!!
